Hi I have dell inspiron laptop and I'm using gnome ubuntu 14.04 LTS fallback with matacity 64bit, composting is on for docky.
While using the standard LibreOffice which came with the disto, Everytime I use the Font colour highlighting feature in Impress or any of the three highlighting features in Writer and Calc and then change the colour it makes the panels on my desktop and Docky disapear.
My workaround to restore the dock/panel  is to Alt+Ctrl+Del twice and then everything re-appears, I then cancel the logout popup window.

I have a friend I helped install a similar fallback with matacity system
using the normal ubuntu 14.04 LTS distro (not gnome) 64bit, again
composting is on for Docky, different type of laptop with the same
issues.

Both my friend and I do a lot of highlighting in our docs and its so
annoying for us we are thinking of replacing LibreOffice with
OpenOffice, at the same time we would rather LibreOffice if it could be
fixed somehow.

Title:
  highlight background of calc cell hides/crashes unity-2D dock and
  gnome panel

Status in Compiz:
  Invalid
Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When highlighting a cell in localc, using current selected background
  color is fine, but altering the selection to another color has
  recently (some time in the last 2 days) resulted in my unity-2D panel
  closing down.

  Have attempted un-installing and re-installing libreoffice4 (and
  multiple reboots).  Turned off anti-aliasing as per another recent bug
  report here. Problem unresolved.  Happens whether I launch localc from
  command-line or via GUI double-click of document

  Have not attempted to reinstall 12.04 or unity/compiz

  3) unity crashes removing quicklaunch-type icons.  Other aberrant behavior (e.g. changing software sources in package manager was not possible).  Hovering over "invisible" unity dock location gives app name in tooltip and the applications can be launched, but icons are missing.  Gnome-panel is invisible, does not tooltip on hoverover, but is clickable (including right click menu). Close-minimize-restore buttons (and the rest of the title bar) missing from maximized windows.
  4) no crash of GUI behind calc
